NOLYTH External Blu Ray Drive with SD/TF/USB Slots, USB 3.0 Type-C Slim Blu Ray Player Burner CD/DVD/Blu-ray Drive for Laptop PC Mac Windows 11/10 MacBook-Silver

I've only run into one blue ray so far that it won't play but I blame it on the DVD software and not the machine itself, the external player seems to be well built and works great, it's small quiet and light.

I ripped an entire collection of CDs using Exact Audio Copy, and several DVDs using AnyDVD, and this drive blew through the task with minimal issues. Comes with an attractive carrying case, and the drive itself is quite smart looking. I was also able to watch Blu-ray movies with this drive using CyberLink PowerDVD with no problems. A very positive response from the seller when I ran into a small technical problem which turned out to be a Windows issue with one of my computers. I would definitely deal with this seller again.

Funciona bien

To eject the Blu-ray on a Mac. Stop the player software. Drag the Media icon from the desktop to the eject button on the Mac desktop.

This product worked a few times, seemed ok, but then after light usage (only for reading DVD), then it stopped working for no apparent reason. Windows can't recognize it, says some issues with USB not functioning properly, and then got a message about USB not recognized. I tried many troubleshooting options found online, but nothing worked. I tried it in different USB ports and with the four different computers I own, it is just not working. I think this product is not made with good quality parts, which might explains that poor longevity. I don't recommend this product.
